In their debut season the club would reach the divisions play-off where they were knocked out in the quarter-finals by Hebei Zhongji 3-2 on aggregate.[6] By the 2015 league season the club would change their crest and colours to blue.[7] After several seasons where they continued to reach the division play-off the club finally gained promotion when the clubs Head coach Zhang Biao lead them to win the division after defeating Baoding Yingli Yitong F.C. 2-0 in the play-off final. In January 2017, Lijiang Jiayunhao F.C. changed their name to Yunnan Lijiang F.C..[8] Their nickname Flying Tigers is a homage to the famous 1st American Volunteer Group in World War II, nicknamed the Flying Tigers, based at Yunnan in China.[9]
